Mystery readers, get ready: the shadows are deepening.

International bestselling author Lauren Carr is thrilled to reveal the cover for her upcoming novel, Shadows of the Missing (Chris Matheson Cold Case Mysteries, Book 5), releasing May 5, 2026.

Tagline: In the shadows of the missing, the truth lies buried.
Synopsis (short version for sharing):
Helen Clarke-Matheson thought she had left her painful past behind, building a new life with Chris. But when her sister arrives with a shocking DNA test, Helen’s world unravels. The father who abandoned them and the mother who wandered away… may not have been what they seemed.
Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad are pulled into a deeply personal investigation spanning decades of buried secrets, conflicting stories, and the lingering shadow of murder. As the team peels back layers of deception, they must confront long-hidden crimes and the specter of betrayal. Can they uncover the truth and bring closure to Helen and her family, or will some shadows never lift?

Packed with Lauren Carr’s signature twists, heart, humor, and four-legged mischief, Shadows of the Missing is a gripping continuation of the beloved Chris Matheson series.
